URA-02 - Mini Wallet

[Anesthetist]

Will try to get some pics today but this is very nice. The leather is similar to that used by Kawatako and the color is very deep. The only thing missing for me is a ring for a leash, that would make it perfect.

Didn't the original iteration of these have a ring?

Looking forward to seeing pictures.

Indeed a ring would be ideal!

gorgeous piece, and great color ways

In the car with nothing to do so here are some pics. Overall construction is very good although the zipper will need some beeswax. The leather is wonderful and the color is beautiful. I  guessing that it will age well. I have 4 IH wallets and my first one  to come with a lucky 5 yen piece. Very cool!

hate to say it, but i actually agree with you.  great pick-up Anest.  wonder if that blue is going to give way to tan/ brown?

I have one that now resides on my keychain with a brass IH dog tag. It sounds like there's a story here? Is the bullion not par for the course?

That royal blue… Lost for words. Going to get that next week

The only thing is that there's a kind of weird odor that resonates with the leather, kind of like a fish smell. I read that this is common with leather especially during the treatment process, but I just stuck a piece of fabric softener inside of it, so now it smells like flowers and fish :'(. Hopefully the smell will go away soon.. idk if anyone else has this scent on them!

[Anesthetist]

Pretty sure it's the waterproofing. My older Kawatako had the same smell as does my URA-02. Don't sweat it, it's a great wallet!

[Giles]

It'll be the tanning process.  If you do not like a fishy smell, do not buy an Iron Heart/Alexander Leathers Deerskin shirt, part of the tanning process actually uses cod liver oil….And boy, does it stink....

[PattyCakez]

Haha no smell could take me away from this wallet!! But it seems to have either died down since yesterday or I have grown used to/fond of the scent. Maybe I'll take a look into that shirt Giles, just for the smell haha

Can't wait to see how the red ages. So excited for this wallet. It bigger than I expected a mini wallet to be. It's hard to capture the color.

Cool idea with the ring. Did you do it yourself?
